Black Striped Agate Agate belongs to the quartz (silicon dioxide) family of minerals. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral found on earth’s continental crust, second only to the feldspar mineral group. Quartz is distinguished and separated into two main branches: macro crystalline quartz and cryptocrystalline quartz. Agate is classified under the cryptocrystalline variety and more specifically, as a variety of chalcedony quartz. Agate stones available on the market today, originate from deposits all over the world including Myanmar, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, Botswana, India, Australia and the USA. Agate promotes inner stability, composure, and maturity. Its warm, protective properties encourage security and self-confidence. It is a great crystal to use during pregnancy. Agate Gemstone jewellery Care and Cleaning Agate can be cleaned very easily using warm soapy water and a soft brush. Keeping in mind that agate is quartz and its hardness and durability, be sure to not use any other objects that are harder than agate for scrubbing or cleaning. As with most gemstones, you should not use any household chemicals when caring or cleaning your agate gemstone or gemstone jewellery pieces. Agate should avoid any prolonged exposure to extreme of heat as it may cause permanent damage to the gemstone. When storing agate, it should be stored inside a fabric-lined box or wrapped in a soft cloth. Agate should be kept away from other gemstones and jewellery to ensure unnecessary damage or scratching from other harder gemstones.
